I am an educator, artist, a craftsman and designer. I love to create large and small ceramic sculptural objects, components, mixed media sculpture, and paintings. These objects and processes are the starting points for my work which attempts to recontextualize function, aesthetics, and value through a resistance to the functionally fixed. I approach modes of making and methods of teaching simultaneously and in response to one another; kinesthetically, often using one outcome or result to determine the direction of the next move. I love to explore, learn, and be surprised by the unexpected and unlikely. I am currently a Visiting Associate Professor in the School of Visual and Media Art at the University of Montana in Missoula. Previous to this appointment, I was the Associate Artist in Residence at Dick and Jane's Spot in Ellensburg Washington, a Long Term AIR at the Red Lodge Clay Center, a Summer Fellow at the Archie Bray Foundation, and the AIR at the Sonoma Community Center. I currently maintain a dual existence and multifarious art practice from Ellensburg, Washington and Missoula Montana.
